I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Air Canada (Montreal, QC) in Oct 2016
Interview
1. Telephone interview asking basic questions
2. Linguistic tests over the telephone
3. Face to Face interview
First two tests went easy breezy except for the last one. Face to face one was the hardest one, they ask you questions tricky questions with pitfalls.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How would you react if a disabled person is sitting next to an emergency door?
2. A passenger is having hard time loading the carry-on, what would you do?
Fair but alot of questions. Be prepared with many scenarios that demonstrates customer service and your ability to react to emergencies. Being friendly and dress appropriately is also very important

It was a great experince doing an interview, even though I didn’t make the cut during the last interview for Air Canada. Overall it was a great journey. It does bring my hopes up because I lasted till the finals.
